Science in the House,

Science, in a mild form, is now occu-
plying itself in making many inventions
for domestic purposes, saving time and
trouble to the housekeeper. Among
the latest are striking sand-glasses to
be used by the cook, or another, in
operations which require specified
amount Of time and attention. One of
these glasses is so weighted and hung
that the emptying of the sand reverses
it and causes metal attachment to
strike against the stand in falling, thus
giving q note of warning, so that the
person using it is able to attend to
other things meanwhile, instead of hav-
ing, as formerly, to give unceasing
glances ct the running of the sand. This
little implement everybody who has
ever boiled an egg or done any other
brief thing of the kind, by the help
of q three-minute glass, will feel to be
o great enfranchisement. Another in
vention useful to those who keep birds
is cage on one side of the floor Of
which is fitted roll of thick water
proof paper, running through grooves
and crossing the entire bottom of the
cage. Every morning the soiled paper
is pulled through and torn off in its
own crease without more ado, ready to
he thrown in the fire, and the fresh
paper, in the act of pulling off the
soiled, has taken its place, thus sparing
the person whose duty it is to attend to
the cleanliness of the cage much
trouble and annoyance and the little
tenant of the place much tiuttering.
Paterfamilias Took Him at His Word.
Some years ago German gentle
man, with more money than brains,
promised house to married couple
in Bahrenfeld, Prussia-the present to
be made provided the lady brought
twelve children into the world. When
the twelfth infant arrived the happy
father trotted round to the wealthy
party and reminded him OF his promise,
but the rich nan affected to treat the
whole affair as joke. cts not much
of Joke for me-" moaned the pater,
vito q wobegone expression of counte-
nance. Then he left and went to law.
The result is that the Supreme Court
hold that the wealthy idiot must fulfill
his bargain. Judy.

Wages of oiI1er nars-

In the very amusing recollections Of
Samuel Breck, an old merchant of Boston
and Philadelphia in the last generation.
writes /. w. HlggiHs0n, we find some sur
prlsirg glimpses of the rate Of servants
wages. Living IN Pennsylvania, he writes

nothing would be wanting to make life
p perfectly happy (humanly speaking) had
we good servants The wages of his do.

that dangers are not quite remote from a
community where the record of such bet
tered condition among the humblest is so
accessible. 1t is very common to deplore
the vanities of dress that proceed from our
kitchens. But for one, when l see the eor-
geous ribbons that fiaunt by nv gate on

cLEvEL AND's DEFENDERS.
a Californian Tells How Much the .Presi-
dent Owes the Mugwumps.


WASHINGTON, June 14th.-[Special.] IA
well-known Californian, who is an intimate
friend of President Cleveland returned
yesterday from ten days visit to New
York. Though he refused to be inter-
viewed, some ideas were filtered from him,
as follows: He said the Labor movement
in New York was growing, and it would
not surprise him if the United Labor ticket
carried the election in New York city next
November, but that it would draw largely
from the Republican, as well as from the
Democratic party. 1t might be possible
that the two old parties would be forced to
come together in opposition to the Knights
of Labor and Federated Trades ticket.
He said there was great alarm in capital
istic circles at the growth of the Henry
George movement. As.only per cent. of
the voters of New York own any lands,
there was but little sympathy among the
landless for the alarmed property holders
He said that President Clevelands best
support came from the Augwumps. The
Mugwump influence must not be measured
by their voting strength. The moral infiu-
ence of these men who cut loose from their
party tor principle was very great. The
Mugwumps forsook the Republican party,
but joined no other. They we're hon
est people, who wanted no Offices
and their support of Mr. Cleveland
has been of the greatest advantage TO him.
Why, when the President is assailed, who
defends him? Is it the Democratic H'orld
and S,u,2 No it is the Mugwump papers,
like the New York Times, ECeaing Posi- and
Hdrpci's Weekly. Where would the Presi-
dent have been but for the support of these
papers And yet there are silly Demo-
Gratis who plead with Mr.. Cleveland to cut
loose from the Mugwumps. 1t is tribute
to the Presidents sagacity and fairness that
he has refused the requestsof The Demo-
cratic spoilsmen, and that his faith in the
independent voters of this country remains
unbrolen.

A FATAL FALL.
Sad and Violent Death of Young Lady
In New York.

III New York.
New YORK, June 3d.-The Tji5une's Ith.
aca special of the 18th says Miss Mary
Bartlett Hill, of jamestown, a member OF
the Freshman class of Cornell University,
slipped and fell to the bottom of Caseadells
gorge yesterday afternoon, sustaining such
severe injuries that they resulted in her
death It O'Clock this morning Yesterday
afternoon Miss Hill, in company with her
pastor, the Rev. DR.. Rubenham, of James
town, who was paving her visit, and a
student friend of the Sophomore class,
George +. Danforth, also of jamestown,
started for church in the village. After
service, owing to the heat, they decided to
return to Sage College by the shorter route
"a path which runs along the side of Cas-
cadella gorge. The foot-path is narrow the
whole OF the way, there being room for
only one person to walk at q time. The
gorge itself is from 100 to 200 feet deep.
with precipitous sides The bottom of the
gorge is hard rock.
Miss Hill, with her two companions,
started over the path. After climbing for
some time all three stopped to rest at a
point near the Psi Upsilon Chapter-house.
Miss Hill had her back to the rayine, when
suddenly the ground underneath her feet.
which had evidently been loosened by the
rain, gave way, and, slipping, she fell back
ward into the gorge.
Her companions Immediately started for
the bottom of the ravine. Imagine their
surprise to find Miss Hill sitting on the
rocks below in the act of dipping up water
from the stream to bathe her head. She
had escaped instant death by a miracle.
To outward sight she had escaped with only
tour flesh wounds. She was tenderly re.
moved TO sage College. Toward sunset she
began to sink, and it soon became evident
that she had received internal injuries Of
serious nature

THE REPTILEs.-The tortoises are esti-
mated by Hoffman to number more than
80 species. Their home is in the tropic
and temperate regions, their northern limit
being the fiftieth or fifty-ffth parallel.
About forty species are found in the United
States and only five in Europe. The ele-
pbant turtle attains weight of 500 pounds.
while fossil tortoise of India appears to
have been not less than fifteen or twenty
feet long. The lizards are estimated by
Gunther to embrace about l, 700 species.
chiefly confined TO the hot portions Of the
earth. and comparatively seldom passing
the fortieth parallel. The serpenis or
snakes, like all other reptiles, are most
numerous in the tropics and RAPIDLY
diminish toward either pole. It may be
safely assumed that considerably more
than 600 species are known to natural.
lists, OF which nearly half are found in Brit
ish and Farther India and the East India
Archipelago. Some $50 species inhabit
North America, north of Mexico. The
crocodiles and alligators include only some
twenty-five more or less well-defined
species of The tropics and sub-tropics. Two
species enter the United States. The eroco-
dlles date from an early geological period,
and no less than forty fossil species are
found in British strata alone An ancient
species # India must have attained a length
of fifty or sixty feet
